Amp blowing fuses in hot wire??

[blgaudio 10+ year member]

I just wired two 1000 watt crunch amps with a 4 gauge wire, wired the capacitor in line, split the power to the two amps, connected the grounds at the cap and then grounded it to the frame, and I ended up blowing both fuses in the split...anybody got ideas? the two tens never even budged, the amps turned on for a second and then the fuses blew

Hello,

You would probably have more luck creating a new thread, this one is a few months old. To sum up this thread, the culprit was a faulty head unit. The rcas where grounding inside the unit, thus frying the inputs on the amp.
